I loved with my whole heart
out of fear
that does not mean
I did not love you
it means I made a mistake
I thought affection
kindness
empathy
friendship
patience
was a currency
that you chose to give me
and since I was so poor,
why on earth would I refuse?
that does not mean
I did not love you
it means I made a mistake
I thought
when I was rich
the value of your dollar
had declined
and it was time
to fill my own pockets
that does not mean
I did not love you
it means I made a mistake
